In carrying out the Ainvention an)r pre- 'ferr'ed form andconstructionof, building ima-y be' employed. ybut'I'l have yshown oneform in the Adrafvvings which is highly ef- 105 fective, and -in suchembodiment ,`tlie buildingY comprises a main central corridor 1 providedvWith an arched roof `2 and crypt chambers on either side' of thiscorridor and a suitable Hoor 5. A roof 6 extendsfrom the upper portionof the corridor. over the o; thorens,fang-airspace entirely around 6-.5'

Tnentilatingopenings and ridsmay be pro-" '80 l y crypt chambers. Themain side walls of the central corridor are extended down at 7 wherethey are provided with openings 8 between the .corridor and a chamber 9above the uppermost crypt. The side walls of the main corridor above theroof 6 are provided with ventilator openings 10 adapted to be'closed bysuitable windows' 11. These ventilator windows are provided on each sideof the central corridor portion. Ilie main corridor is provided with afloor 12 which is below the level of the floors 5 of the crypt chambers,and on this floor 12 is a hollow tile construction 13 which provideslongitudinal openings 14 extending the length of the corridor andadapted to communicate with openings 15 extending out through the maincorridor portion ofthe building so that there is a circulation of airunder the main tioor. These openings 14 may communicate' throughsuitable floor openings 16 with the corridor, and these openings arecovered by suitable grids 17 in the lioor 18.

' The sides of the building are provided near the lower portions withair inlet vents 19, and upper outlet Vents 20 of increased capacityeither in point of size or number to the inlet vents 19, and the formercommunicate with openings 21 in a hollow tile construction 22 restingupon tliefloor 5 of each crypt chamber. This hollow tile construction isalso provided with suitable vents or openings 23 near the side wall fora purpose to be described. l

Supported upon the hollow tile constructio'n 22 is-the cryptconstruction 24 provided with crypt 'chambers 25 vand spaced from theside walls 3 and from the end walls of the main building to form. airspaces 26 adjacent the side wall and air spaces 27 adjacent the endwall. This crypt construction eX- tends to the downwardly extendingportion A 7l. The spaces 26 and 27 are in communication at their outercorners with each other and communicate with the lopenings 2l in thehollow tile construction 22 by means of the opening 23, and by opening28 with the chamber 9 above the uppermost crypt. Suitable openings 29 inthe lower front plate or'slab 30 which hides the ends of the hollow tileconstruction 22 serve to establish communication between the openings 21and the main corridor. 'A ventilator 3l is arranged in each'end 32 ofthemain corridor and suitable doors 33 serve as a means of access vto thebuilding.

The building may be constructed in any suitable manner but I prefer tomake it seamless of cast concrete construction either reinforced orwithout reinforcement.

It is an important feature to have the floors upon which thecrypt'construction is supported elevated above the main -fioor of thecorridor in order' that the Ventilating channels or openings under thecrypts may open out into the' corridor just above its floor. l

It has been found in'practice that'it is Very difficult to properlyVentilate structures 'of this characterv and great care'must v be takento bring about the changes in temperatures within the mausoleum with thetemperature outside, and by the construcfloor onsaid floorsupportingmeans,l crypt 35 supporting means in the crypt chamberprovided witli Ventilating channels communieating with thecorridorvabove the iioor and t with the outside air, and a crypt ofmasonry or concrete mounted upon said crypt supporting means' and spacedon all sides and'- the top from the shell to form Ventilating spaces,said shell being vprovided with upper and lower Ventilating openings.
